A new system for monitoring tire pressure to improve safety even further, when the rear camera built into the premium Nissan Connect a satellite navigation system makes reversing easier and safer, too.

Other changes include better insulation of road noise in the Cup, while the automatic versions of the Coupe and Roadster are now reviewing a "snow" Framework for a better grip when ice and snow.

Fine Tuning the Nissan 370Z chassis - double side arms and rear multi-link - suitable for European tastes, have focused on the panels that need to be to increase the comfort and handling.

These changes provide a better control of the wheel resulting in a substantially vertical tower over flat on all surfaces and increased comfort on the surface road / highway. In addition, improved high speed stability with greater control, while road noise is better insulated, thanks to changes in the insulation base.
 


The advanced seven-speed automatic option is now a form of snow. When used, the second car involved in the first place to prevent loss of traction. The system also regulates the engine speed at low speed to prevent the wheels from slipping on ice or snow.

To ensure the lower roof line does not interfere with the clearance of the position of sitting inside was also reduced, resulting in a low center of gravity.
 


At the same time, the body's torsional rigidity has increased by 30 percent compared to the 350Z, especially in the front bar, where a brace was mounted on top of the turrets of the suspension. The extensive use of aluminum - which is now used for doors and tailgate and hood - plus other weight saving measures have been more than 32 kg dressed in place of the mass of the vehicle Despite the addition of more safety, environmental equipment and luxury.

Engine and transmission

At the center of the Nissan 370Z is an outstanding 3.7-liter V6. Development of the group 350Z powered, all-alloy 24-valve Twin Cam not only to develop more power and torque, but it is even more response, more accurate and less fuel.
 


In addition, VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology to produce electrifying performance, the engine develops 328 horsepower and an impressive 366Nm of torque. E 'connected to a short distance to a sporty six-speed gearbox or seven-speed automatic.

Rack and pinion steering is also revised to give feedback more communicative and respond more effectively around the front of the dead. Now the electronic speed-sensitive help, guidance, and provide more agility in the city and improve stability at highway speeds.
